Mad Number

We live in the era of information technology. People rely on technology a lot and the future is predicted in a way that everything will have technology involved in it. We can see technology already doing great things in the Medical Sector, automation of production and a lot of other sectors.

We founded ibjects.com with the sole purpose of using technology for social impact. We want to use technology in social sector, so we started with the first issue we are most passionate about i.e. education, which is also a high threat to Pakistan if the illiteracy rate continues to grow. Our team of volunteers went to different cities of all the provinces of Pakistan to talk to the locals and find out the reasons why people are not sending their children to school. The top reasons we found out were poverty and schools are far OR there is no school in the area. This means that if we pay the fee or build school they will start sending their child to school. After we conducted the problem research we brain stormed the solution to build a platform that can send Out of School Children (OOSC) through school.
Donating money directly to an organization is the old way and people usually find it hard to find an organization that is trust worthy and will spend your money for the right cause they claim plus they cannot see where their money is being spent or who are the benefices directly or indirectly in many cases. We came up with something better i.e. send a child through school without paying a single dollar from your pocket. User won’t have to pay, they will just use the app and it will raise the funds of its own. This is the way we are targeting everyone, people who have a heart for this cause and who don’t have a heart for this cause. We are developing this app with modern gamification techniques that will be used to engage user with a number raising game. There will be advertisement challenges and at the end, user will get a reward for their efforts. User can also track how much money they have raised and donated and can also see their beneficiaries directly. The reason we are calling it a platform is because app is just one aspect of this idea. There are other initiatives which are also accessible from the app i.e. Education Bank where people can donate anything related to education, it can be a pencil and adopt a fee where people can adopt the fee of one or more children. So we are adding more and more so that maximum number of people can join the platform and larger the number of people the more money can be raised and more children can go to school.

People use their phones every day and with a solution like this in their phones, by spending just a little time every day they can not only send a child through school but also win rewards. In this app all the stakeholders are taking something home by the end of the day.
